I inherited two things from my father: the dimple in my chin and the compulsion to share interesting news stories with everyone I know. Yes, I’m that person flooding your inbox and Facebook wall with “thought you might like this” messages containing links on everything from the running barefoot trend to a retrospective of Michelle Obama’s hairstyles.
Here‘s a fun blog post that Matt just sent to me. (And boy, we sure do love our gummi candy ’round here.) I wonder if we could install a Gummi Bear Chandelier?
Browsing headlines this morning, I came across a few museum-related articles I thought I might share with you:
Museum Attendance Up: The American Association of Museums released a report Friday that said, “A majority of American museums report an increase in attendance 2009, in many cases despite a significant decline in funding.”
Modern Art Collector Ernst Beyeler Dies: Ernst Beyeler, 88, whose early eye for undervalued Picassos and Impressionists helped him assemble one of Europe’s most famous art collections, died Feb. 25 at his home near Basel, Switzerland. No cause of death was reported.
Sex Club Opens at Vienna Art Museum: In the name of art, an Austrian landmark is encouraging visitors to confront their sexual inhibitions by having them walk through a swingers club to reach one of Gustav Klimt‘s masterpieces.
Any headlines catch your eye over the weekend? Please share!

I liked this article written by a nude model for a Spencer Tunick installation/photo shoot in Sidney! From this article, I also linked to a video narrated by a few other models with some commentary from Tunick. I like the notion that “no one can make judgments” when everyone is naked!
